The conformational energy values of 3-amino-4-nitraminofurazan (C2N4O3H2) molecule changing with two torsion angles were firstly calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with Lee-Young-Parr correlation functional and 6-31 G(d) basis set on Gaussian Program. And then, these obtained discrete data were made continuous by using Fuzzy Logic Modelling (FLM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of Reidemeister torsion for quasi-isomorphisms of based chain complexes over a field. We call a chain map a quasi-isomorphism if its induced homomorphism between homology is an isomorphism. Our notion of torsion generalizes the torsion of acyclic based chain complexes, and is a chain homotopy invariant on the collection of all quasi-isomorphisms from a bas...

Structural evolution in nanoscale Cu50Zr50 metallic glasses during high-pressure torsion is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the strong cooperation of shear transformations can be realized by high-pressure torsion in nanoscale Cu50Zr50 metallic glasses at room temperature. It is further shown that high-pressure torsion could prompt atoms to possess lower five...

Torsion of the fallopian tube is less frequent. Indeed, isolated bilateral fallopian tube torsion is rare and often diffi cult to diagnose. The etiology of fallopian tube torsion is still uncertain, especially when this is not associated with torsion of the ovary. We present a case of the torsion of isolated bilateral fallopian tube combined with tubal endometriosis. A 30-year-old woman present...

Recently there has been considerable interest in LV torsion and its relationship with symptomatic and pre-symptomatic disease processes. Torsion gives useful additional information about myocardial tissue performance in both systolic and diastolic function. CMR assessment of LV torsion is simply and efficiently performed. However, there is currently a wide variation in the reporting of torsiona...

Bilateral testicular torsion is a very uncommon emergency, with a challenging differential diagnosis. We describe the case of a 15-year-old patient with a left testicular torsion of 48 hours of duration and a sudden onset of right scrotum pain during his stay at the emergency area. Bilateral testicular torsion was diagnosed after repeat physical examination and doppler ultrasound, which had bee...

PURPOSE Intermittent torsion of the spermatic cord is an episode of acute torsion of the spermatic cord that resolves spontaneously. We compared the outcomes in boys with intermittent spermatic cord torsion treated electively with testicular fixation with those in boys with a history of recurrent scrotal pain who required emergent operation for acute spermatic cord torsion without spontaneous r...

Recently twisted and higher order Alexander polynomials were used by Cochran, Harvey, Friedl–Kim and Turaev to give lower bounds on the Thurston norm. We first show how Reidemeister torsion relates to these Alexander polynomials. We then give lower bounds on the Thurston norm in terms of the Reidemeister torsion which contain and extend all the above lower bounds and give an elegant reformulati...

We point out that a background torsion field will produce an effective potential to the K and K̄ with opposite signs. This allows us to constrain the background torsion field from the KL and KS mass difference, CPT violating K ◦ and K̄ mass difference and the CP violating quantities ǫ and η+−. The most stringent bound on the cosmological background torsion 〈T 0〉 < 10−25 GeV comes from the direct ...

Starting with topological field theories we investigate the Ray-Singer analytic torsion in three dimensions. For the lens Spaces L(p; q) an explicit analytic continuation of the appropriate zeta functions is contructed and implemented. Among the results obtained are closed formulae for the individual determinants involved, the large p behaviour of the determinants and the torsion, as well as an...
